How to Make Polish Nalesniki Very Thin Pancake Crepes

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Chill until ready to serve.
  2. In a blender, blend 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour to the blended eggs while blending on low speed until just combined.
  4. Add 1 cup milk and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray in a lightly oiled 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet, immediately tilting and rotating the pan to create a thin, even crepe.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the crepe is lightly browned. Do not flip.
  8. Carefully remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Spread each crepe with 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite jam (cherry or raspberry recommended).
  10. Roll up the crepe and top with a dollop of the chilled sweetened sour cream and/or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
